Marker Leads: essential for accurate bait presentation
Marker Leads is an indispensable tool for every angler who wants to fine-tune their bait presentation to perfection. Whether you are fishing for carp, bream, or roach, determining the right depth is crucial for a successful catch. With Marker Leads, you determine exactly how deep your hook bait is offered and perfectly adjust your float.
Why use Marker Leads?
A correct bait presentation makes the difference between catching and blanking. Many fish species feed close to the bottom or just above it. Marker Leads help you perfectly adjust your rig to this fishing zone. This ensures that your hook and bait are exactly at the right depth, significantly increasing the chance of a bite.
Types of Marker Leads and their application
There are two main types of Marker Leads:
1. Marker Leads with foam or cork – This type is specially designed for fishing roach. The hook is threaded through the eye of the lead and then pressed into the foam or cork. You let the whole setup into the water and check if your float lies level with the water surface. Ideal for fishing with suspended bait, just above the bottom.
2. Clip-on leads – This type is suitable for bream and carp fishing. You attach the lead directly to the hook and let it into the water. You want the float to be just on the water surface, so you are sure your bait is on the bottom, exactly where bream and carp feed.
Tips for using Marker Leads
-
Always measure accurately before you start fishing, especially at unfamiliar spots.
-
Check multiple times around your fishing spot, as the bottom is often uneven.
-
Use the right type of Marker Leads for the fish species you are targeting.
-
After measuring, you can fine-tune your float with clip-on leads for optimal bite detection.
